Today in class, (5/2/07) we discussed the up and coming website, digg.com. I have never heard of the site, but evidentally it has grown immensely popular over the last year. The popularity can be partly accredited to Paris Hilton and her cell phone being hacked; believe it or not. Digg.com posted the story on their website, and within the next day, both 'Yahoo' and 'Google' had indexed the website. The next day, digg.com was the number 1 result in both search engines, allowing the world to be introduced to the website.
The site is so eclectic, and unique, because it combines elements of Slashdot, MySpace, and Del.icio.us. It is especially interesting, because it allows the user to have complete control on what becomes popular. With enough popularity, or "diggs," the story can make the homepage of the website, for the world to see. I am certainly going to bookmark this site to my favorite places, and see what all the buzz is about.
